A 5 page paper discussing the 1958 book that
rose from the year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott. There was nothing truly miraculous about the
boycott itself, but such was not the case in what happened in the collective black psyche in
Montgomery during the course of the boycott. Racial shame began to diminish among the black
population; it may have begun to grow among the town's whites. Standard methods of
intimidation lost their powers, even to the point that KKK cross burnings were less effective than
at any other time. The act of civil disobedience that launched the year-long boycott was a small
one. The results it accomplished were immense. Bibliography lists 1 source.
